EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the distinguished figure of Samuel Wilberforce, Bishop of Oxford and later Winchester, known for his staunch opposition to Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection. The image showcases Wilberforce in all his historical significance, a prominent figure in the intellectual debates of the 19th century.
Wilberforce's legacy as an opponent of Darwin's groundbreaking theory is well-documented, with his famous debate against Thomas Huxley at the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1860 becoming a defining moment in the history of science and religion. Despite his disagreement with Darwin, Wilberforce was respected for his intellect and eloquence, making him a formidable adversary in academic circles.
The photograph exudes a sense of gravitas and authority befitting a man of such stature. His piercing gaze and thoughtful expression hint at the depth of his convictions and unwavering dedication to defending traditional beliefs against modern scientific advancements.
Mary Evans Picture Library has expertly captured this pivotal moment in history through their meticulous preservation and presentation of this iconic image. It serves as a reminder not only of Wilberforce's contributions to religious thought but also as a testament to the ongoing dialogue between faith and reason that continues to shape our understanding of the world today.
